The survey asked about General Well-being, Basic Needs, Mental Health and Well-being, and Substance Use. The information is not meant to indicate or predict exactly what students will encounter this academic year
How Viruses Grant Superpowers to Their Hosts: Investigating Prophage-Dependent Immunity in Cluster F Phages through Genetic Engineering of the Immunity Repressor Gene
Get PDFUsing genetic engineering to clone the immunity repressor gene in Cluster F phages has provided insights into prophage-dependent immunity. My research builds on the work of previous students, offering a deeper understanding of how bacteriophages confer immunity to their bacterial hosts
The Inclusion of Metacognition in Source Evaluation Instruction
Get PDFThough the ACRL Framework holds metacognition as crucial to exercising information literacy, its emphasis was reduced from prominence in early drafts to a single mention in the final document. At the same time, few of the frequently-taught sets of source evaluation criteria include a step for self-awareness. This raises the question: do librarians explicitly teach metacognitive concepts when they teach source evaluation? Online library guides about source evaluation from various colleges and universities in Washington state were analyzed, and librarians who taught source evaluation were surveyed to determine whether and to what extent metacognitive concepts were included as part of the source evaluation process and how important librarians perceived metacognition to be relative to common source evaluation criteria. This research found that metacognition or self-reflection is not commonly considered or taught as an integral part of the source evaluation process
